As labor rights, responsible supply chains, and new technologies continue to evolve, companies face growing scrutiny from regulators, investors, and consumers. BSR experts will share insights on these emerging human rights trends and discuss how we’re working with member companies to navigate today's rapidly evolving landscape. BSR invites Consumer Sectors member companies to join us for a webinar on key human rights challenges shaping the sector in 2025, and how those challenges can be met.
